People are upping their undercut game as much as they are their hair color. Buzzing the back of their heads is merely a starting point. Hairstylists are using razors to create hair art at the nape of the neck. Geometric designs, line work, swirls and even characters are featured in next-level undercut hairstyles for women.
Undercuts may be more high maintenance than some other hairstyles, but there’s a reason why more people are grabbing razors and joining the undercut nation.

That means wearing your long hair up to show off your shaved design.
It’s a shame that you won’t be able to see your actual undercut without looking through two mirrors, but at least you know that others will be able to admire it. Plus, you can still enjoy the photos of your ‘do that you post on social media. If you’re feeling ready to take the plunge, see some cool ways you can upgrade your basic undercut women’s hairstyle.
